SAG TENSION CALCULATION FOR 220kV JACK BUS - TWIN ACSR MOOSE (41m Span) at 16.6m height
The Sag-Tension is calculated for the following
i)

For Span length 41 Mtr.

The max proposed tension is 2000kg/conductor. The maximum ambient temperature is 50C. However for the calculation of SAG, the stress,tension at still air condition
temperatures are calculated and tabulated.similarly the stress, tension,deflection and swing for various temperatures at full load wind condition are calculated and tabul
